Abstract: We investigated age-related differences in the required coefficient of friction (RCOF) during 90° turning, the difference of RCOF during step and spin turn, and how affects observed differences. Sixteen healthy young and healthy older adults… read more here.

Abstract: The ability to effectively increase the base of support is crucial to prevent from falling due to stability disturbances and has been commonly assessed using the forward-directed lean-and-release test. With this multicentre study we examined… read more here.

Abstract: This paper describes the behavior of a symmetrical gyroscope when it falls down from a certain height over the surface of the earth. The assumptions of the model are that (i) the gravitational acceleration has… read more here.
